Reversible Afghan to Knit

Suitable for beginners who can knit and purl. Worked in one piece -- no seams or stitches to pick up - and no wrong side. Three different designs with an easy-to-follow chart for each: Square-In-Square, Zig-Zag, and Basket Weave. Knit with 925 (1250)yds of worsted-weight yarn at a gauge of 16 sts per 4", using U.S. size 10/6mm circular needles.

This afghan was wonderful to make! It was easy to enlarge by adding another row and square. It was a wedding gift and the bride cried when she saw it. She appreciated the time and effort it took to make, even though it was an easy project.

I made the Square-in-a-Square. I adapted the pattern to make a prayer shawl. I did do it in 2 panels; next time I'd just double the cast on, to avoid sewing panels together. It is a fun easy pattern. Made as directed, be aware you'll be holding a lot of stitches on the circular needle. I'm not always an 'even-tension' knitter so I did have to block the project. I love the reversibility and would recommend this set of attractive patterns.

This is the first large project I have done. I like the fact that it is a single piece, no putting together panels. The pattern is easy enough that I can work on with the whole family in the room and not lose my place.
